A flurry of minor roster activity came to an end for the Patriots on Wednesday, with the announced signings of offensive lineman Matt Tobin to their 53-man roster and running back Josh Ferguson to the practice squad.

Tobin competed in New England's training camp before receiving his release on Sept. 1, having been edged out in a position battle at backup offensive tackle. Tobin, previously with the Eagles and Seahawks, then signed with San Francisco and was inactive for two games before being let go on Sept. 19.

Ferguson, 25, played for the Colts the last two seasons after making their 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent in 2016. At 5-foot-10, 205 pounds, he's played in 26 career games and rushed for 20 yards while totaling 20 receptions. Ferguson had a brief stint on Houston's practice squad after being released by Indianapolis in mid-September.
